It takes a thorough understanding of environmental conditions and electrical power system issues to know when to replace the circuit breaker. Infrared (IR) technology is commonly used to get a better picture of breaker performance. But IR cannot provide real-time info. Our breaker health feature gives you a true 24/7 picture, so that you can plan maintenance proactively as opposed to reactively.
As the bathtub failure curve illustrates, knowing which breakers need to be replaced or services and when a breaker will fail is critical.
Our Power Xpert Release (PXR) trip units revolutionise the ability to monitor overall circuit breaker health. In fact, a smartphone with traditional safety features might be the best way to describe these new intelligent circuit breakers.
These units dramatically streamline traditional breaker inspection procedures, with an at-a-glance health indicator and powerful data analytics that detail the condition of the breaker for easy predictive maintenance and enhanced system reliability.
Industry 4.0 and IIoT solutions utilise intelligent electronic devices that have network connectivity in switchgear assemblies. Find out how intelligent switchgear improves productivity, safety and operational performance.
Tracking usage history and unlocking breaker data in real-time puts the power in your hands. You can plan predictive maintenance methods with precision and efficiency.
Data-driven insights will help you:
There are enormous system benefits that can be realised when taking advantage of these “smart” communicating circuit breakers and the real-time information they provide.
